Acquisition Services FY2010 Annual ReportJuly 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010

Executive Summary

Acquisitions Services provides central support services for collection development activities throughout the college library system. Services include management of the Information Resources and the Content Utilities budgets, vendor accounts and the licensing, purchase, receipt and payment of resources, as well as the provision of financial and collection statistics and reports. Each Acquisitions staff member makes unique and valuable contributions every day that directly support the scholarly resources and excellent library services that our patrons expect and receive as central to their Dartmouth experience.

In fiscal year 2010, the Library’s buying power for information resources was reduced by one-half million dollars. Acquisitions provided specialized expertise to successfully meet the financial and staff resource challenges, supporting the library administration, selectors and other managers though efficient purchasing and report preparation, as well as evaluating price models, providing advice, and implementing cancellation projects to meet reduction targets.

Key Highlights

Substantial reductions in the Information Resources budget necessitated a close scrutiny of purchasing options, strategic negotiations and renegotiations by Elizabeth Kirk, Associate Librarian for Information Resources, and difficult cancellation decisions across the board. Most significantly, cuts were much closer to the bone and considered a permanent resetting of the base rather than a temporary hiatus.

Increased purchasing efficiencies by establishing new approval plans for foreign materials from China, France, Japan, Korea, and Spain; as well as through the implementation of a shared music approval plan in collaboration with other Borrow Direct Libraries.

Increased valuable support and analysis necessary for determining strategic budget allocation for library resources; support included provision of financial reports, collection and cost per use statistics, package plan analysis, and increased monitoring of spending patterns.

Joined the Compact for Open Access Publishing Equity (COPE) in September 2009, to support article processing fees for faculty and graduate students publishing in open access journals.

Statistical Highlights

FY2010 Information Resources and Content Utility Budgets: $ 9,507,234 Information Resources and $166,147 for Content Utilities

Orders, Cataloging and Maintenance (see Appendix V) Orders decreased overall 18% (totaling 30, 970), similar to FY07 and FY08 levels. Approvals increased 9%; firm orders declined 23% Serials, BLSOs, multiparts, and replacement orders each declined by 60% or more. 78% of the Information Resources budget now supports serials and databases 22% of the Information Resources budget supports monographic purchases. Spending for electronic formats increased 6% in FY10; up 10% from FY08.

o 71% (FY10) ; 65% (FY09); 61% (FY08) Cataloging at receipt has declined 95% since the majority of this activity was

consolidated with Cataloging & Metadata cataloging workflow in FY09. Maintenance activities increased, with records maintenance activities up 20%, and

SerialsSolutions site maintenance activity up 24%.

Income from Programs: $16,019 credited to the Information Resources budget from Alumni Memorial Book Fund

Program receipts $2,154 credited to the Information Resources budget from the 5613 lbs of books shipped

to the Better World Books Library Discard & Donations Program.

Looking Ahead

Reduced financial resources necessitate strategic purchasing and value assessment. Vendors and publishers compete for limited academic dollars through a complex and dynamic array of packaged options, consortia deals and alternative price models. Decisions demand a robust structure for collection and cost analysis and valuation. Collaborative collection building with other Borrow Direct libraries and options such as CRL, JSTOR’s Current Scholarship Program, the Hathi Trust, continue to increase the potential for shared collections and preservation of access. In addition, serious consideration must be given to consolidating serial vendors, which appears to be the next essential management tool for reducing cost and streamlining internal workflow, particularly given limited staff and financial resources.

Collection Development & Vendor Relations

Eliminated $2400 in annual maintenance fees: transitioned remaining vendor accounts from BISAC to EDIFACT format to for electronic invoicing, which reduced annual maintenance fees and overall processing time.

Reduced order and processing time by changing our RUSH order vendor: took advantage of Barnes & Noble’s academic invoicing program which eliminated the need to use a credit card.

Increased efficiencies through approval plan changes & collaborations Initiated a shared approval plan collection with other Borrow Direct Library for 20th & 21st

Century Music Scores through Theodore Front. Updated all Coutts approval profiles & established annual spend limits. Initiated approval plans and established annual spend limits for:

o Aux Amateurs: French Literature o Iberoamericana: Literature -Spain (from purchase to approval plan)o Iberoamericana: Social Sciences - Spain (from purchase to approval plan)

Increased efficiencies for purchasing Chinese, Korean, and Japanese materials: worked closely with the Asian bibliographer to review accounts and purchasing procedures:

Coordinated a bulk purchase for Korean materials through Panmun following a review by the Korean collection consultant.

Initiated quarterly wire transfers to Beijing Rare Books to eliminate lost checks. Established a Japanese literature approval plan with Japan Publications Trading Company. Established a literature slips plan with Chinese International Book Trading Corp. (CIBT).

Increased control over standing order expenditures: completed preparations to remove the majority of standing order titles from the serials budget and selectively purchase individual volumes as firm orders within the monograph budget. This improves our ability to predict annual serials expenditures. (Baker & Taylor’s acquisition of Blackwell North America prompted the cancellation of 1360 standing orders. Following a full review, 66% will be closed out as subscriptions. 34% will be reordered through Coutts in FY11 as standing orders.)

Continued cancellation and de-accessioning projects Worked closely with Director of Digital Resources & AUL to review electronic databases

for cancellation to meet budget reductions in FY11. Continued the JSTOR discard and Deaccessing Projects to alleviate space and meet

budget reductions for binding.

Additional Processing Statistics Resolved 146 digital access problems (approximately 12 per month). Processed 496 subscription cancelations or transition to digital format. Responded to an estimated 3700 inquiries addressed to our general acquisitions mailbox Managed 322 vendor accounts in FY10

Financial & Statistics Support Resumed ordering for FY10 on July 1 and invoice processing on August 19, 2010. Implemented new counting procedures for collection statistics, realigning count-in and

count-out methods to address impact of a significantly reduced binding budget. Held financial educational sessions with Bibliographers and Acquisitions Liaisons to

review subject allocations and funds including reserves and endowment restrictions. Met new ARL statistics deadline which suddenly changed from January to October. Assumed responsibility for managing and monitoring the Content Utilities budget in

Millennium in FY10.

Systems Administration to Support Collection Development Decisions Updated information for usage statistics administration and integration for systems such

as ERM, including coordinating SUSHI feeds from COUNTER3 compliant publishers. Increased time spent on data management for administrative settings in electronic

databases and platforms, including setting up a mobile device option from EBSCO, setting up full text links in Web of Knowledge, and setting different defaults in databases in response to changing options available from the vendors and publishers.

Addressed a complicated set of problems with the ProQuest Alumni Databases that caused us not to have access until September 2009, resulting in ProQuest investigating how different platforms handle Shibboleth and new ways to provide access to alumni.

Extensive work was done to set up Shibboleth authentications for as many providers as possible; included working with Eric Bivona, DLTG.

Cross-Department Collaborations: Created detailed workflow specifications and worked with programmer, Paul Merchant,

to rebuild the database used to manage subscription changes. Completion of the project was delayed due to unplanned staff reductions in DLTG.

Acquisitions and Preservation staff established workflow procedures for archival files. Acquisitions and Cataloging & Metadata staff streamlined processing and cataloging

workflows for standing orders and multi-part formats. Through PACC, restructured and recharged the Collection Services Roundtable; and

proposed elimination goals designed to streamline and speed processing time. Through ERMIT-2, extensive work was completed to further implementation of

Innovative’s Electronic Resources Module, particularly in the areas of use statistics, license record data, and public display options.

The Student Library Service Program honored sixty graduating students through the purchase of books each individually plated to honor their service to the library.

Department Administration & Documentation Updated our department emergency plans to include potential pandemics. Worked with Mary Childers, Ombudsperson, on a workshop for department supervisors

on supervising friends & relations in the workplace. Wrote a Summer Work Schedule Planning Guide for Acquisition Team Planning Updated the Digital Invoice Approval Guidelines and Year-End Digital Invoice Approval

Guideline.

Alumni Memorial Book Fund Program (AMBF)

In FY10 we upgraded to FileMaker Pro 9 and redesigned the database to streamline workflow and incorporate financial information. A retrospective review was completed to make sure that our class lists were accurate. We worked collaboratively with the Alumni Class Activities Office staff to assist classes planning for future memorials.

39 classes actively participate in the program, including 14 endowed classes $16,019.22 was credited to the Information Resources budget through AMBF receipts. 429 alumni class members memorialized The Class of 1966 joined the Alumni Memorial Books Program in FY10. Fully memorialized: Class of 1920, 1923, 1924, and 1925.

Financial Gifts Program: Memorial and Non-Memorial Gifts

Collaborated with Development to establish procedures and guidelines for the Robert C. Kolbe D1934 Memorial Fund, a book memorial fund to run through November 2010.

$300 was credited to the Information Resources budget from gifts to the Memorial and Non-Memorial Financial Gifts Program.
